Rep. Van Orden Speaks on the House Floor Condemning Antisemitism in Congress

Published | Video Starts at 01:11

And this last weekend here in our nation's capital, we saw over 200,000 people rallying in support of the terrorist organization Hamas that committed these atrocities in Israel. They defaced our national monuments and the White House. But most disturbingly, In this house, the House that freed men from the scourge that is slavery and gave women suffrage, we have a member that not only supports this organization, Hamas, that slaughtered these Jews, but has actively called for the eradication of the Jews as a people by promoting the slogan from the river to the sea on social media. She represents this as an aspirational phrase and she is correct. It is aspirational for those who call for the destruction of the Jewish people. (01:11–01:34)
